Thourough, sober updates about the war in Ukraine

Thank you to your great team for your detailed updates. I have been a regular listener since Day 1. I listen from Denmark where coverage is too scarce as also another listener points out in his review.
Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

No. 1 source for news and analysis of the war in Ukraine

Hi “there everybody”

I Been following the podcast from the beginning of the invasion in 2022, and very pleased with the high level of journalism, in reports and analysis.
I am listening from Denmark, where I am disappointed with the level of coverage from this hideous war Russia are inflicting on Ukraine and in fact Europe.
I admit that I am guilty of supporting the idea that the way to lasting peace was increased dependence between Russia and Europe via commercial affairs like the gas pipelines.
But the years with Putin has proved me and others wrong.
Also the years with Donald trump, as president in USA, has showed how easy the world largest democracy can be overthrown.
So I never thought I would say this, but Europe needs to step up its military capabilities in the broadest senses, so the Russian aggression can be countered.

In my opinion this is the test if the human race can exist on the planet earth.
This war has the potential to make the earth inhabitable for humans, not only because efforts has to be concentrated on war and not the effects of our normal lives problem, which itself are big enough in its own right.
But the threat from nuclear weapons and power plants alone, should make this daily front page history on all major media outlets.

Once again thanks to the team behind “Ukraine: the latest”, for giving us a sober source of orientation on this war.

Best regards

VERY good, informed and analytical.

Insights from US Congress to individuals’ narratives on the ground, and from culture to weapons systems. Thank you, Christopher Morgenstierne, Tølløse, Denmark
